Batik Uneven Nine Patch

No…I haven’t figured out a better name but the quilt top is done (I think).

Uneven Nine Patch

I used 24 batik light/dark combos set in a 6×8 grid to make this 45″ x 60″ quilt. I have a nagging feeling that maybe the quilt is asking for a border. I am still not sure but I will leave it up on the design wall for awhile to see if I can make a decision.

Check out my ‘Linky Parties’ page to find some fabulous blogs where I share my projects and get inspiration.

Jo, glad you like the quilt. I started writing up some basic instructions for the block but then it seemed to go on forever. Might be easier with photos. I will working on getting a post put together for you. Micki

You color selection really works well together. The photo seems like the quilt is ebbing and flowing back and forth in a 3D manner, like an optical illusion. It is almost like there is a bump moving around underneath it. Weird, I know, but I find it fascinating to look at.

Zenia, I can’t really say it is my pattern – I am sure that other quilters that have done something similar. I only took the nine patch and mixed it up. I have received a couple of requests for more info on the block so I will be working on putting together a brief tutorial. Not sure how quickly it will get posted by stop by if you are interested.

I love batiks and this is one of the best quilts I’ve seen! So fun and wonky!! I would really, really like this pattern or a short explanation of how you did it!!! Can you tell I like it?!?! Good job and yep, I think I would have to border it!!!:)
